My bag is packed. The car seat is strapped in and waiting. The room is set. Pretty much everything is good to go for Baby Girl's arrival. Now it's just a waiting game.
I've been forcing myself to keep calm, cool and collected, which I honestly thought would be a whole lot harder at this stage of the game. Scott's been really fantastic about not allowing me to overexert myself and takes care of stuff around the house. I spent a large part of the weekend sitting down a lot to stay off my feet to keep them from swelling into Hobbit-feet. And as I sit, Baby Girl would shift, shudder and occasionally hiccup while giving me small glimpses of what contractions feel like. I'm still in 'early labor' which basically means that I just have to be aware but not alarmed.
One of the ways I've been trying to lessen any possible stressers is avoiding my phone. So far, it's been working wonderfully. I already have a multi-tiered 'plan' of how I'll let people know when the action starts happening, and I figure if I can be patient, so can everyone else.

Do what I did. I texted about 5 people and told them to tell everyone. ;)
yeah, i made phone calls to the new grandparents and aunts and uncles, a few close friends and family and sent a mass email to the second tier of people. don't concern yourself with getting the info out asap (except to me because i want to know). let scott take care of it after you pass out.
odd, i don't have an account here but it assumes i did. either way, we're both excited for you over here and nathaniel has no idea what's going on so he just yells 'yo gabba gabba' for you.
